“It’s just so scary, that’s why I want it out there,” said Jenn, who didn’t want to share her last name for safety.
Her husband said he had just kissed his wife goodbye for the day, when he heard her pounding on their front door.
Jenn and Gabriel describe a man jumping out of the U-Haul and getting into Jenn’s car — which was still running — before everyone drove off. “I wasn’t there to help take care of that. That’s what really gets me,” said Gabriel, getting emotional. “That’s my wife. She’s the key to my whole life,” he said. He said their teenage son was also at home, and woke up to witness the incident.“Don’t just get into your groove, pay attention, look at your surroundings,” Jenn said.
The crime didn’t end there. As Jenn had been leaving for work at a local middle school, her purse was also in the car. Jenn said the suspects used her credit cards to go on a shopping spree, hitting up multiple gas stations and spending $600 at Tacoma Discount World.
